Ph.D. Candidate in Applied Economics & Management at the SC Johnson College of Business, Cornell University

Pronouncing my name

My fields of specialization are Public Economics and Applied Microeconomics, with interests in Labor Economics and Health Equity. I am particularly interested in using microdata and robust quasi-experimental research designs to study how public policy in the US, especially health policy, can better serve low-income and marginalized populations, and how interactions among public policies can help facilitate human capital accumulation for such populations.

In my job market paper, I am using multiple quasi-experimental research designs to study not only whether the effects of exposure to a large-scale public program (WIC) in childhood persist through adulthood, but also whether exposure to multiple public programs, even from different domains can lead to policy multiplier effects.

My research has been funded by the Russell Sage Foundation and the
DC Center for Equitable Growth.
